Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Yuan’s eyes flickered for a mont before she lowered her head in resignation. “i Shu, you gave two choices at the hospital that day. So are you now going to systematically swallow up the entire Shen family?”
“Not interested,” i Shu replied. “What do you think is left of your Shen family?”
Indeed, i Shu had once considered swallowing up the entire Shen family. However, after taking over the business, she realized it wasn’t necessary at all.
All she needed to do was to turn all of Shen Yuan’s capital and connections, essential for her survival, into her own. Then, the Shen family would be nothing but a useless shell.
Why waste the effort swallowing an empty shell?
Shen Yuan forced a bitter smile and shook her head. “In the end, 1 miscalculated. 1 lost. But you haven’t won completely either. At least, the orders from the Yu family are still in my hands. We signed a five-year contract.” But now, it seed that business was going to fall into the hands of that shaless mother and son duo!
i Shu raised an eyebrow, smiling as she took a step back, making the way to the door for Shen Yuan. “1 forgot to tell you, the contract was actually signed in my na. Didn’t you pay attention? It’s actually a cooperation agreent between and the Shen family. The Shen family will have to give up seventy percent of its profits to serve our i family. You can leave now.”
In that instant, Shen Yuan understood everything.
Lu Si’s unusual defense of her earlier was actually a tacit agreent between him and i Shu.
He never gave up i Shu because of Lu Ting’s threats. Instead, the two of them staged a play together, aiming to lead the Shen family to its demise step by step.
i Shu bringing Shen Hai personally was also ant to snuff out Lu Ting’s last bit of pity for her. Now that Shen Yuan had nothing and lost Lu Ting’s protection, what awaited her would be fair legal consequences.
Zhou Guo glanced deeply at i Shu before leaving with Shen Yuan and her secretary.
Once they left, the atmosphere at the venue beca even more silent. No one dared to speak first.
The suffocating atmosphere spread from Lu Ting and i Shu to the surrounding area. The others were too scared to move, let alone try to slip away unnoticed.
“i Shu, you’re very clever,” Lu Ting sincerely praised, but there was no hint of appreciation in his eyes. “But our Lu family has never liked won who are too scheming. I won’t approve of you being with Lu Si.”
“Whatever. Your approval ans nothing to ,” i Shu retorted without hesitation. “Do you think I’m the kind of person who would try to please the in-laws for the sake of my husband?”
“So don’t daydream. Whether Lu Si and 1 are together is our business. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for your ddling and aiding the wicked, two innocent girls from our school wouldn’t have been involved.”
Although Lu Ting wasn’t directly involved in the matter, without his interference, Shen Yuan wouldn’t have dared to act so recklessly.
No matter how you looked at it, Lu Ting played a significant role in the background.
“What do you want to say next? Are you resentful toward ? 1 am Lu Si’s biological grandfather!” Lu Ting angrily pointed at i Shu. “Even if Shen Yuan isn’t a good girl, can you guarantee that you’re clean? i Shu, don’t let catch you doing sothing wrong in the future!”
With that said, Lu Ting snorted coldly and left.
Lu Li brought his wife over, looking at the two with concern. “Why don’t you co back to the Lu family with ? Grandpa is just angry, he’ll co around if we talk to him nicely.”
Lu Si didn’t move, his gentle eyes fixed on i Shu. “You call the shots; I’ll listen to you.”
i Shu almost drowned in his gentle gaze. She quickly raised her hand to block his intense stare and said helplessly, “1 don’t have ti to go with you. There’s still a lot of work to be done at the company, and there are loose ends to tie up in this matter.”
Lu Si held onto her hand tightly, looking spoiled. “Then I’ll go with you.”
i Shu couldn’t argue with him and compromised, “Fine, you can co with , but we’re going sowhere first.”
Lu Si had no intention of asking where they were going. He let i Shu lead him out of the hotel. Even when they got into the car, he stuck to i Shu and refused to let go.
i Shu, annoyed, pushed him away. “Can’t you sit on the other side by yourself?”
“i Shu,” Lu Si complained with a hint of grievance, “we haven’t seen each other for almost half a month, and you haven’t sent a single text ssage.”
i Shu raised her hand to stop his complaint. “Let correct you. It’s not that I didn’t text you; it’s that your phone wasn’t even in your hands.”
Lu Si seed about to make trouble unreasonably.
i Shu quickly changed the subject. “Do you really not want to go back and see your grandfather? His complexion wasn’t good just now.”
“No need,” Lu Si answered decisively. “Things have co to this point, and it’s ti for to make a stand. I can compromise on other things, but giving up on you is out of the question..”
